Barcelona Tapas was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Puerto Vallarta…read more I came for the rooftop views and sunset, but the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish I ordered felt thoughtfully prepared. The service was exceptional. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and to top it off they surprised me with a complimentary dessert. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made an already great evening even more memorable. During dinner, there was a live flamenco performance that completely elevated the atmosphere. Watching the dancers as the sun set over the bay created one of those travel moments I'll remember for a long time. If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta and want incredible food, attentive service, and one of the best rooftop dining experiences in the city, Barcelona Tapas is absolutely worth the visit. I'll be back the next time I'm in Puerto Vallarta.

I went to Barcelona Tapas each time I visit Puerto Vallarta. I made reservations for 6:30, so I…read morecould experience the sunset. It did not disappoint. It is outdoor seating. I was placed by the glass for the view. (It can be requested, but not expected.) The martinis were great. I got the fried goat cheese and the ham & chicken croquettes. My party of 3 went to just me, so that was enough. It would have been nice to try some other things, but it was my last night in PV and what I got was satisfying. Live music was playing throughout my evening. First, just a guitarist and then, 2 others joined him. Great vibe and wonderful food. Just right for my last night.

We started with excellent cocktails: a Margarita for my wife (the first of two) and a mezcalrita for me. An on-the-house Caesar salad was followed by a deliciously spicy, garlicky shrimp appetizer served in a bubbling, boiling cauldron. Both of us had fish mains--a local whitefish with a piquant sauce named after chef/owner Roberto Gonzalez and sea bass for me. Four stars for my wife's fish; one star for my overcooked sea bass. I mentioned my disappointment to our server who compensated us with dessert. Service was okay. The place was packed with high-spirited turistas and staff were definitely hustling! Noise level as measured on SoundPrint was 84 dB: very loud.

Our party of four was immediately seated and treated to friendly service. They specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine. Their menu changes daily as the focus on 3 to 4 main entres prepared very well. I had loma, a pork dish. It was just like mom makes with great frijoles and rice. We also had Pozole, which means "hominy", and is a traditional soup or stew from Mexico, which once had ritual significance. Last we had Carne en su jugo. This is beef steak in an green chili sauce. The tortillas were hand made and served hot off grill. I highly recommend this wonderful foody stop. With her mom Rosa cooking, her daughter provided friendly efficient service. We felt we were part of la familia.

The young waiter takes our drink order and appetizer order and then takes off with the menus. It was a bit of a "process" but we finally got them back. They are in Spanish and require some explanation as there are some good choices that we had not been exposed to before. Fortunately we had a semi - local with us who speaks and reads Spanish as well as being a retired restauranteur. Drinks were good. Appetizer was small but tasty. Our entrees arrived on a staggered basis. Presentation was good. The beef tacos were good. The rice and shrimp was good. Notice that the food is good, not memorable or great. The price was right. The owner and his wife came in and took a table for dinner nearby, but chose not to come over and introduce themselves. Seems like they would want to interact with new clientele.... I suggest that you give it a try as I am sure they will get things smoothed out or it will close as the competition in the area is considerable.

Customer Service:…read more Issue #1 - Service is slow. After sitting down took 15-20 mins before the waiter acknowledged us. In fact we had to reach out to the waiter. Then another 30 - 45 minutes to receive order..Start to finish was approximately 2 hrs wasted here. Issue #2 - All appetizers did not arrive at the same time. When we told waiter to cancel the appetizer because it wasn't brought out with the rest he said they can't cancel orders & that's it's already waiting to be brought out. Food Quality: All the food was brought out and majority of food was already cold. The food was not good. No flavor. Very bland. Entertainment: Dining outside there is a water show approximately every 15. But there are also raccoons. Kids Menu: No kids menu. Did not see any kid friendly options. No cheeseburgers on the menu and they are not willing to coordinate with the other restaurants on site to place an order for one. Usually other hotels are very accommodating and can make anything possible but not here. Price: Everything was extremely expensive. Approximately $60+ per person.
